Im growing an easy kush seed in a bubbling bucket under a 90 LED light. When the light is on the leaves all stand up looking very healthy but when the light goes off the leaves all droop untill the light comes back on. Its up to about 6" now. Im testing the ph everyday to make sure its between 5.5 - 5.8, im using iconic feed. Any ideas what the problem might be? Il try get some pics up to show you.

The plant can sense the night is coming and goes into sleep mode, essentially. It's not to be worried about in the least. This can happen to plants in soil too, when watering. As long as they stay green any perky, nothing to worry about.

Here you can see what they are like with the light on. and the one with it drooping is it just after the light being switched on.

when its dark the plant sleeps..the drooping is very normal.

all my plants droop when the lights are out,and sometimes they start to droop just before lights out,although that is kinda rare.

thats why they need consistence

My plants always start to droop about hour or so before lights out.. and funny at certain times they stand straight up then relax and repeat. It's normal.

Watch a time lapse video on YouTube of cannabis. They are moving around in slow motion all day even if they have no breeze from wind or a fan. The tops kinda swivel around in circles too, it's pretty cool to watch.

Plants develop vegitative / flowering growth during day and roots during the night. During the day through the plants are drawing nutrients up from the roots during the process of photosynthesis for growth above. At night the nutrients are used by the roots for growth below.

Cheers for the help folks.

Actually I am thinking an intervention may be required.

If your plant leaves are drooping at lights-out then it could be because they come from genetics from Greenland/Northern Europe and are therefore depressed when the lights go out and mope around for the next 12 hours until they come on again.

It is possible that just not worrying about it at all could solve everything in a matter of minutes but instead you could also sing to them (as CO2 from your breath helps them grow) or read them stories once in a while to lift their mood if they are a bit "droopy" at lights-out time.

But seriously, grow on bro! You've got nothing to worry about :-)

I use a UFO 90w LED for my clones and I leave it on 24/7....It's pretty cold in my shop so I leave the light on all the time...

I will post some pic's of some clones that are about 5 weeks from when I took the cuttings....I cut the tops off these's clones once all ready...

My plants in my big system that are on the timer have droppy leaves one or two hours before lights out....

How far do you take them with the 90w?
